If your computer is not picking up audio from the microphone, attempt the following suggestions:
1. Check the computer speaker’s volume level.
2. Check proper seating of cable connections.
3. Verify the application settings you are using. Some applications have separate volume level control.
4. Check that the computer recognizes the Microphone - showing it connected and selected within your computer OS settings.

6. Check the microphone’s mute setting. Verify LED light color. If red, press again to un-mute.
